enboe Posted April 1, 2012 Share #2581 Posted April 1, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) A response to the prior query, my MP has never been dropped or jarred. There is not a sign of wear or use, which is quite remarkable for a camera with many dozens of rolls put through it. It often surprises me how worn some cameras on the big auction site can look after "only 10 rolls" have been put through them. I really am quite satisfied with the MP, just had to lament sending it in for service. In the balance of things, a trip to Leica for seven years of operation is not too bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveYork Posted April 2, 2012 Share #2583 Posted April 2, 2012 This post should be in the 'I don't love my former MP' thread. Poor choice of words on my part. I liked the camera well enough to keep it for 10 years; I just changed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leican Posted April 11, 2012 Share #2593 Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) do you have any pics taken with it? lol seriously, I was dumb/stupid enough to pay extra-premium to buy an anthracite MP, how could I possibly be capable of using it? lol oh you mean the watch? lol =========================== anyway I just dropped my camera bag while I was traveling last month and here's a dent on the anthracite hood of this lens (fortunately, so far the camera seems working fine) There's a small camera shop closed to the hotel (I was traveling in Dharamsala, India)... the owner of the shop gave me an idea of using the long-nose pliers and a cloth to fix the dent on the hood (he said... at your own risk) so I tried applying a slight pressure on the dent with the cloth between the pliers and the hood... and it worked... so it took me like a few hours fixing it... the last pic is the hood after fixing with the long-nose pliers so be aware of the dropped anthracite MP serial 3005845 (092/600)... if you see it on eBay lol Welcome, dear visitor!

enboe Posted April 15, 2012 Share #2595 Posted April 15, 2012 Especially with a complimentary, out-of-warranty repair. Just have to give accolades for best-in-the-world service. Recap: 7 year old MP frame lines stop changing with lens change or use of lever, meter also 2/3 stop underexposing. No visible signs of wear. Sent in with copies of expired Passport warranty cards. Returned in 10 days fully repaired, compliments of Leica USA. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected to find little intact when I found it, but all that was damaged was the hood. Pliers did an OK job and the lens was used for a couple decades till sold. Looks Like you could do a little better job reforming the hood here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
